  • 🔗 Biking Boom - Cycling as Lifestyle

    Discover contemporary cycling culture in three European cities: Berlin, the unofficial capital of vintage racing bikes. London, where cycle-cafés also hold speed dating evenings and Amsterdam where cyclists stand out from the crowd with style.
    A great documentary series about cycling from 2018. With interviews and footage with bike couriers in Berlin, cycle fashion bloggers in Copenhagen, it inspired me to take out my cross-bike instead of the eBike mama-chari for the first time in ages. I wish I had a reason to ride it more.

    I love the sub-culture around bikes. Not the lycra wearing weekend racers, but the everyday riders. Riding for transport. Or  work. Or whatever. Each bike as unique as its owner. And each ride in the city, a small protest against the car dominance that is killing us all.

    I miss when the internet was full of travel blogs like this. Random photos of everyday things. Not super-polished or photoshopped to death. Just people doing their thing and letting others follow along.

    The original travelogue is a fun read. 
  • 🔗 Paged Out!

    Paged Out! is a free experimental (one article == one page) technical magazine about programming (especially programming tricks!), hacking, security hacking, retro computers, modern computers, electronics, demoscene, and other similar topics.
    What a cool zine. Reminds me of high school when we'd make these kinds of things around C/assembly, hacking, and programming in general (but not as professional looking as this).
  • 🔗 Running on my own

    Since I started my IndieWeb journey this month I’ve been thinking a lot about the digital content I’m producing and how I can be more in control of my data, avoiding data silos as much as possible.
    Another one of my motivation for building Tanzawa was wanting to have a place to store all of my running data and visualize it. Super interesting post and maybe some motivation for me to (finally) take control of my running data.
  • 🔗 You either die an MVP or live long enough to build content moderation | Mux blog

    If you run a UGC platform (User Generated Content) you either die with an MVP ("minimum viable product") or live long enough to the point that you have to build content moderation. It’s a story as old as the internet and a topic that is seldom discussed.
    This is why I'm fairly certain I'll never make a service out of Tanzawa and or hosting Tanzawa-based blogs. I have zero interest in playing that cat and mouse game.
